A common occurence in Greece

A SHEFFIELD woman has launched a campaign to have her dead mum's organs returned after she died on holiday abroad and her body was flown home without her heart and a kidney.

Anita Murray, aged 48, died on the Greek island of Zante during a holiday to celebrate her husband Rodney's 50th birthday.

The mum-of-two, from Havercroft Road, Woodseats, had not been ill before and investigations are still underway to establish how she died.

An initial post mortem was carried out in Athens but when her body was flown back to Britain for a second examination in Sheffield it emerged that her heart and a kidney had been retained.
